Thanks satya! I did try using backward slash, and the result is the same. Too many parameters. How did you resolve it? What parameters did I input? I am really terrible at DOS command. Thanks!

I am really terrible at DOS command. well....u have my company there.... so, when you get this too many parametersmsg, what is the PATH? Also if possible could you post your autoexec.bat file esp the PATH settings. That may help me understand what u were trying to do.set PATH=%PATH%;%JAVA_HOME%\bin The reason I ask is I want to look at the current PATH before your abv stmt gets exec. In my case, I had two ; something like ;; in the PATH and so it said too many parameters. watch out for such a thing.

Thank you satya! The following is my autoexec.bat: set PATH=C:\PROGRA~1\ASTWORKS\MM\SPT;C:\PROGRA~1\ASTWORKS\HELPFI~1;%PATH%;"C:\DEV-C++\Bin\";C:\JDK1.3\BIN; set PATH=%PATH%;%JAVA_HOME%\bin set CLASSPATH=.;servlet_dir/servlet.jar;servlet_dir/jsp.jar set TOMCAT_HOME=c:\tomcat I tried to completely follow Tomcat's instructions but maybe I left out some details...

I see the problem Get rid of the ; at the end of the abv stmt in you autoexec.bat. Give it a shot and let me know. Trust me, Tomcat is a good freely avail. piece of software. And lot of companies use it even for commercial purposes. Each month there are abt 10000++ downloads. IMO, it helps to take the pain and learn how to use it. After much hardwork, I am now able to use it and am abt it. Regds. - satya
